Based on the latest census. Their definition of 'skinny' is having a low average body index. I always thought we were the fattest? http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2006/top25s/skinniest.html
this study at least has some measure. the other "study" was based on number of parks, gyms, etc in the city. subjective stuff. these little polls are for crap.
Ditto. Many of these 'studies' are completely ridiculous and lack any credibility. Houston is not the fattest nor skinniest city in the nation. As MadMax said, many of these so-called 'studies' lack any credibility and are highly misleading. The quantity and quality of restaurants Houston has doesn't mean that Houstonians are 'fat'...
In other news, Mayor White pleased with the effort to add special troughs with drains in all city buildings to capture the title Bulimic Capital of the World.
